Chapter 263 Discussion boom!
Chapter 263 Discussion boom!
[This book is a memoir written by a Mr. Square.
The following content contains serious spoilers, so readers who have not yet read the work please watch with caution.
In the flat country where the square is located, there is no space, and the nebulae and mountains are all in two-dimensional space.
If we only write this far, then Gu Lu is just an ordinary genius, no different from other geniuses. The reason why he is Gu Lu is the content that is extended later.
The residents of Flatland are divided into several classes according to their shapes: irregular figures that are not protected by laws, humble isosceles triangles, ordinary equilateral triangles, gentlemanly squares and pentagons, noble hexagons and polygons larger than hexagons, and circles that are in the ruling class.
Sharp angles can hurt others, so the more angles there are, the smaller the inner angle will be. At the same time, learning more knowledge will lose its sharpness and turn the sharp angle into a blunt angle. ]
This book review is very strange. Yu Xinyao didn't seem to say anything extra and just explained the highlights of the plot.
As he said, a big spoiler.
[A flat country has no height, so any shape you can see is a line segment. The ruling class has the knowledge to distinguish shapes with the eyes.]
[Mr. Square dreamed of the king of One Dimensional Country and wanted to inspire the king to move left or right, but was denounced as a heretic.
The sphere in the three-dimensional world was also unsuccessful in its attempt to inspire the square to move up and down.
And the point in zero-dimensional space thinks that it is the whole world.
The above is just a general exposition of the content of Flatland. It is enough to express the content contained in this book, which is not just a popular science work. ]

Add fuel to the fire!
A pinch of salt to the fire!
Add to the flames!
Use three idioms to describe Yu Xinyao's influence.
The review was posted this morning.
Information from Sohu.com, Jiemian News, Sanlian Life Weekly, People's Information and other media were reprinted in the afternoon.
It immediately sparked a heated discussion, with people who had seen the film or not joining in.
"Oh my god, when I read the discussion on the Internet before, I thought it was a math science novel and had no interest at all. But after listening to Mr. Yu's summary of the plot, I became interested. It seems quite interesting."
"The last time Mr. Yu summarized a plot without any comments was in Animal Farm. Also, did Mr. Yu use the wrong picture?"
"The more knowledge you gain, the less sharp your corners become. I feel like Gu Lu is onto something!"
"After reading Teacher Yu Xinyao's summary of the plot, I feel that this is a ridiculous plot. Can someone who can judge shapes become a noble in the Flatland? It reminds me of the monopoly of knowledge by the ancient noble families in our world... Is this an allusion?"
"A Little Prince, a Flatland, oh my god, what kind of monster is Gu Lu?"
and many more.
The above are the reading reviews of netizens who have not read the book but were attracted to buy it.
Just on Dangdang.com alone, the number of online orders exceeded 4 in just one afternoon.
In particular, Yu Xinyao’s comment on Gu Lu, “The reason why Gu Lu is Gu Lu,” has been quoted many times.
Genius doesn't seem to be enough to describe Gu Lu.
The rumors on the Internet about Jiang Lang running out of ideas and President Jian’s publicity being too exaggerated have completely disappeared.
The current editor has started discussing the content of the book.
Beijing Youth Daily: "The line segment country in the one-dimensional world does not understand what is left and right, and the plane country in the two-dimensional world does not understand what is up and down.
Gu Lu used simple and clear examples to make it clear that no matter what dimension, human cognition has limitations.
Based on the title of Mr. Yu Xinyao, for us, the fourth dimension should be the past and the present. Like the sphere in the book can jump upward, so it disappears at any time in the eyes of Mr. Square.
So can people in the four-dimensional space go to the past or the future at will and disappear in front of us?"
The netizens below were discussing the four-dimensional space, and some accused the editor of talking nonsense and not even understanding the concept of the four-dimensional space.
There are many talented Internet people.
I could understand it at first.
There is a debate about whether humans can break through "cognition" and touch the fourth dimension. One side supports that it can, while the other side believes that humans can only be like Mr. Square, unable to touch it in their lifetime.
But later, the speech became more high-end and tended towards mathematics.
Seeing this situation, Gu Lu was very happy.
"It makes Uncle Jian proud." Gu Lu looked at Yu Xinyao's remarks.
According to the internet, when Yu Xinyao thinks the plot is attractive enough, he will post a plot summary of the novel.
At this point it is no longer a literary review, it is simply a promotion using one's own fame.
"Although Flatland is powerful, it still lags behind Animal Farm," Gu Lu thought.
There is also George Orwell in this world.
"1984" and "Animal Farm", Orwell is so powerful.
The only person who can be compared with him is Camus. Oh, there is also Camus in the parallel world.
As Gu Lu was thinking, the phone rang.
The caller was a female hero. When Gu Jiayu's mock exam results were announced, she called her brother immediately to tell him.
The total score is 637 points.
The score is really close to the passing line of No. 8 Middle School. The total score of the first mock exam did not include physical education.
As for the physical education in the high school entrance examination, everyone knows that as long as you are not too bad, you can generally get 50 points.
"It feels like we're just a dozen points short and can't make it any further." Gu Jiayu said in a tone that sounded a bit devastated and tired.
Gu Lu looked at his sister's specific scores and felt that there was still room for improvement in math.
Her Chinese grades are good, perhaps because her brother is a writer. Gu Jiayu never liked reading, but now she reads occasionally, so her composition is not bad.
There is no room for Gu Lu to display his talents. Should he find someone to help him with his math lessons?
The first person that comes to mind is Zhou Lin, who thinks that the second in the grade is having problems. It's not good... The girl with super powers hasn't gotten over the death of her grandmother.
"Sister, are you taking math lessons?" Gu Lu asked.
"Yes, I attend the cram school very seriously, but it doesn't help much," said Gu Jiayu.
"I'll think of a solution for you." Gu Lu said.
"Brother, you don't want to tutor me, do you?" I heard my sister's incredulous voice from the other end of the line.
"..." What do you mean, isn't it just math? Gu Lu really can't do it, "I'll find someone."
"Oh, brother, I'm going to hang up first. I have something else to do. We'll talk in the evening."
Then hung up the phone.
Gu Lu also continued to watch the increasingly heated discussions on the Internet. Although it was a plagiarism, it was copied by himself after all.
Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. Even if there is no hard work, there is fatigue. Gu Lu will still be happy.
Sohu.com’s Daily Reading: “The Flat Country is a system of combining politics and religion, with the leader, the Round, as the supreme authority.
The teaching is summed up as 'watch your own shape'.
It tells everyone again and again that shape is related to destiny, and people with irregular shapes can only live a lowly life when they are born.
People with irregular shapes need to save money for surgery to transform themselves into regular patterns, but the chances of failure of the surgery are extremely high.
The men and women in Flatland have abnormal physical structures (women are born with sharp needle-shaped bodies at both ends). According to national doctrine, this shape is a sign of low intelligence, so women = low intelligence.
The more I read, the more frightened I became. It is hard to imagine how Gu Lu could write such an ironic and popular science book. "
Analyze each plot point.
The more you analyze Flatland, the more you'll find.
